Mi Atashino
born in miami, florida to jamaican parents of mixed heritage, mi has navigated the world through the cultural lenses of both islander and mainlander. after moving to atlanta in her pre-adolescent years, she discovered the escape in reading novels and crafting her own stories to help cope with the stark discrimination she began to experience. as she reached adulthood, she abandoned writing for other practical job titles, only to find her heart remained in the un-smeared ink of her pen. recommitted to chasing her dream of becoming a poet and a writer, she addresses the intricacies of moving through life as a multicultural woman in the midst of misogyny, heartbreak and healing, spiritual awakening, and racial tensions.
